  • Summary: The Simpsons Game features a hilarious, sprawling, and mind-busting storyline crafted by the TV show's Emmy Award-winning writers. The action-comedy also features the full cast of voice actors from the TV show who reprise their roles for the game. In The Simpsons Game, Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa use exciting, all-new powers to save the world from rising chaos. To help the Simpsons, gamers at home must journey through all of Springfield (as well as vast worlds beyond!), vanquish an amazing array of villains, and fight their way through parodies of popular games.

    The Simpsons Game for the DS may not be innovative nor appealing to worldwide mainstream audiences - you really do need to be a fan of the show to appreciate what's been done here – but it's a highly creative production nonetheless.

    Very colorful and detailed levels plus very interesting cut scenes between levels.

    Remove the excellent presentation and engaging audio, and you have a video game that is not fit for purpose.

    Make no mistake, I'm a huge Simpsons fan, which in this case didn't help at all... Even Simpsons fan need not apply in this one. Gameplay is like the day old simpsons game on my 80386 EGA monitor PC 15 years ago. The PS2 version is however quite cool.… Expand
